Testimonials

"I joined the Urban Chamber of Commerce in October of 2013. The reason I chose the Urban Chamber was the quality resources, connections, and their vision. I needed to gain more exposure to grow my business. By connecting me with small, large businesses for catering and corporations for supplier opportunities. A small group of UCC members were given the opportunity to meet directly with the Executive Director of Purchasing for Wynn Resorts. From that meeting, I was able to secure a contract with Wynn Resorts to have my funnel cakes in the buffet. The Chamber has a sincere passion and vision to move members forward in growing their businesses in major ways. The Chamber played a big part in taking my business to the next level in a relatively short period of time. I definitely received a great return on investment." – Denette Braud, Braud's Funnel Cake Cafe


"Let's talk for a minute about some of the options out there to grow, market, and network your business. Radio. Done that. TV Commercial. Done that. Pay per click on the web. Done that. Magazine advertising. Done that. Newspaper. Done that. Paid sales associate. Done that. Business mixers and expos. Still doing that. Professional organizations. Doing that. Chamber of Commerce. Doing that. All great ideas. Some more cost-effective than others.


Then a few years ago, something interesting happened. I was invited to join the chamber again by an associate that I'd come to know quite well. With a few years of networking and business under my belt, I tried again. I joined. I went to the events. I volunteered as an ambassador. And guess what? My business got business! I only cost me yearly membership, lunch once a month, and time to have a little fun.


Why the Urban Chamber? Here's my top 3 reasons. 1) Cost. They had a special deal the month I joined...duh! Maybe they'll have another. 2) Small town feel with big city presence. You can actually get to know people involved. It's not so big that you get lost in the crowd. 3) They make me feel special. OMG...the first month, I was invited to tour the Chamber, write an article for the newsletter, and put in a free advertisement. Oh...and I got an award! And now more reasons! 4) Networking Opportunities. This is one of the most important benefits of membership. Networking and new business contacts help your business grow. 5) Credibility. 69% of consumers believe that chamber membership is a sign of a reputable, stable business. 70% believe that it demonstrates that you use good business practices. Being a member of the chamber gives your business credibility. 6) Publicity and exposure. Chamber members receive real exposure through the website and newsletter. Use the coupon to get your business out there. 7) Resource CEnter. Experts from SCORE, as well as NxLevel and the Business Success Center work closely with chamber members providing help to achieve your business goals. 8) Value added benefits. Enjoy member to member discounts, individual and group health insurance, energy costs savings, discounted office supplies from Office Depot, and more.


Final Words: Get Involved. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Don't wait 10 years to get involved and grow." – Dida Clifton, The Office Squad


"I started my business in 2008 and one of the first things I did was join the Urban Chamber of Commerce because I felt it would help my business grow. Here I am 10 years later and still a member of the chamber. They have helped me in support of my business with networking and marketing of my business." – John Pinnington, AA Printing Service


"MIH Management Solutions, LLC's Urban Chamber association has been worthwhile. Membership over the past five years has allowed important local, state, and federal connections to be made that have remained firm and productive." – Linnes Chester, MIH Management Solutions, LLC
